6 weeks ago I fell from a pine tree approx 20 foot fall. I broke my tibia plateau, fractured 3 vertabrae lumbar region, and dislocated shoulder. The surgeon put 3 screws in my tibia. 1 month later I was diagnosed with a blood clot below the knee. I enjected myself w/ lovanox for a week and now taking cumatin pills every day for the next 6 months. 8 days after being diagnosed w/ the clot, I noticed my leg was no longer swollen and was in less pain. Later that day I started having a weird breathing problem. This breathing problem remains and it has been one week. To describe it, I would say I feel myself take a normal breath but I don't feel like the breath is satisfying me? I end up with a somewhat panicky feeling. I went to the hospital. They did a cat scan, ultrasound, and a few other tests. They said they could not find any clot, my body was getting plenty of oxygen and that they don't know what is causing my breathing problem. Any advice will be very appreciated? thx!!

guarenteed to being gorgeous? and if she is getting it for part medical/part cosmetic reasons is she really conforming to what society wants people to look like? or is it okay? and is it assured she'll be prettier afterwards?

It just seems to my husband and I that she doesn't want to grow up and earn a living for herself so she has fained a string of bodily aches and pains and after 7 doctors said nothing was wrong with her (their findings based on CAT scans, MRI's, and blood tests) the 8th doctor actually performed surgery and even did a useless procedure. Now she is on about 10 different meds for pain and mental conditions. She sweats profusly when she eats and shakes uncontrollably (seems like symptoms of overdose or medication when no medication is needed) It seems the meds are actually GIVING her mental illness than helping something. Aren't medications supposed to help her function? Am I missing something here? I wonder if she would actually faine mental illness to this point for attention and avoidance of living life. Real life isn't as bad as what she is doing to herself, which is starting to make me wonder.

I discovered a small white painless patch in the back of my throat on my left tonsil. Could this be the first sign of strep throat or is it something serious?
It's completely painless. My throat hasn't gotten red and inflamed, yet, but I am having a slight slight difficulty swallowing.

My thumb is swollen and it hurts when I put the SLIGHTEST pressure on it. I think it is infected. What can I do to alleviate the pain?
(just so you know how much it hurts, i can't press the spacebar with my thumb.)
I know I have to go to the doctor, and i have an appointment scheduled, but in the mean time, anyone have any suggestions?
thanks!!

I just wanted to jump i here and say I've been reading on this board this morning and it is dangerous. By the spelling and grammer I figure the average age in here is 12-13 and the misinformation being handed out is potentially dangerous. If you people are really seeking answers try a reputable source.

This week I keep getting muscle cramps in the calves of my legs, usually only one leg at a time. Do you know what causes these or how to prevent them. I am 59 yrs old and have a job where I am on my feet all day. However, it happens whether I work or not that particular day. Have you suffered this and what did you do?

I worked my upper body for the first time in 12 years and I awoke in pain from my triceps. I didnt think the weight was excessive during the workout. My arms cannot go past 90 degrees; I cannot touch my shoulders. If I use my other hand and try to force my hand to my shoulders the pain in severe. I can barely get out of bed and have difficulty bringing a glass of water to my face.

I am assuming I just don't work upper body until the soreness goes away. I am also assuming there were excessive microtears in my last workout..I intend to lower the weight/reps last time.
I think this was caused by doing pecs/shoulders and then tricep workouts in succession. I am alternating heating pads around my bicep/triceps and taking protein (my Glu arrives today and I will also take that). I am debating taking a painkiller to make it go away and I dont like to use them. Any advice to speed healing and/or minimize pain is appreciated.
